SkyView System Installation Guide - Dynon Avionics

SV-D700 / SV-D1000 Installation and ConfigurationDynon SV-ADSB-470See the SV-ADSB-470 Installation, Configuration, and Testing section for detailed instructions onhow to set up the serial connection to the SV-ADSB-470.External Serial Altitude Encoder SupportSome locales may require the use of a certified altitude encoder with the Dynon SV-XPNDR-26XTransponder. SkyView supports external serial altitude encoders that use Icarus/Garminformat. When one is connected, the SV-XPNDR-26X uses the external altitude encoder datasource instead of SkyView’s own ADAHRS-generated pressure altitude. However, the altitudedisplayed by SkyView on the PFD page is ALWAYS sourced from SkyView ADAHRS data.To have SkyView use an external altitude serial encoder as the pressure altitude source for theSV-XPNDR-26X:1. Wire a SkyView serial receive line to the respective serial transmit connection from theserial altitude encoder. If you have multiple SkyView displays, the serial transmit wirefrom the external serial altitude encoder must be connected to SkyView serial receivewire to each display in parallel.2. Ensure there is a shared ground between the D700/D1000 and the serial altitudeencoder.3. Configure this serial port on each display under SETUP MENU > SYSTEM SETUP > SERIALPORT SETUP. The SERIAL IN device for this serial port should be set to ICARUS/GARMINALTITUDE.Non-Dynon Transponder Serial Altitude Encoder OutputTo use SkyView‘s altitude output functionality with your transponder that can receive serialaltitude input:1. Wire a SkyView serial transmit line to the respective receive connection on thetransponder. If you have multiple SkyView displays, a serial transmit wire from eachSkyView display must be connected to the external transponder in parallel.2. Ensure there is a shared ground between the D700/D1000 and the transponder.3. Configure the serial port on each display appropriately. There is an example serial portconfiguration on 4-21.SkyView Altitude Encoder Output FormatsThere must be a SkyView ADAHRS in the system for the altitude encoder output tofunction.SkyView outputs its altitude measurements in two different formats. You can use either formaton any of the serial ports. These formats are described in Table 11 and Table 12. SkyView willfunction properly whether or not this altitude encoder functionality is used.4-14 SkyView System Installation Guide - Revision O
